HP Scanjet Professional 1000 Mobile and Windows 8 - supported, but not working!!!

Trying to get my HP Scanjet Professional 1000 Mobile Scanner ( Model L2722A ) to work with Windows 8 Pro.

hp.com/support lists the Scanjet 1000 Mobile as supported Windows 8, but I can't get it to work.

I've tried using the original CD that came with the unit, and the downloaded driver and software available at hp.com/support, to no avail. Both PaperPort 12.1 (from Nuance) and FileCenter Pro 7 (from Lucion) show the scanner in their selection lists, but when scanning is started I get a dialog box that says "Error Code 2023 - Operation system return error".

The really weird part is that the scanner DOES WORK with the Microsoft Fax and Scanning application, but when the scan is initiatied there is a delay of about 60 seconds before the scanner starts feeding paper. Other than that, the operation proceeds without error.

BTW - this is 64-bitWindows 8 Pro!

I have two (2) of these scanners (one at home, one at the office), and they work GREAT, but right now this is the only issue that keeps me from moving to Windows 8 Pro.

The short answer is "No".

I emailed HP support about this problem. The reply, which took me a while to discern due to the prro grammer and broken English, essentially told me that "there is no softwares for window 8 for this scanner".
